Eastern Michigan Eagles

Eastern Michigan is just a .500 team that’s started off .500 in the MAC. This shouldn’t be a threat to Buffalo, which is the cream of the crop in the conference.

The Eagles have committed more turnovers than assists, shoot exceptionally terrible from 3-point range and don’t play particularly good defense; though the defense isn’t bad, either.

So I don’t see how they win this game other than either playing out of their minds or the Bulls playing especially sloppily. EMU scored 95 points in a win over Kent State before finishing with 49 in a loss to Akron in the last two.

Buffalo Bulls

Buffalo, meanwhile, has three guys who could legitimately be the most dangerous offensive player in the conference.

CJ Massinburg, Jeremy Harris and Nick Perkins all all get at least 13.8 a game and 6.1 rebounds. Massinburg and Harris, the two guards, combine for about six assists per game and Perkins grabs eight boards. All three are seniors.

They were all leaders on last year’s team that beat Arizona in the NCAA Tournament. However, there are two other upperclassmen who are key cogs in Buffalo’s offensive attack. Dontay Caruthers and Davonta Jordan, a senior and junior, are two guards that get at least three assists per game, too.

So 297 assists compared to just 189 turnovers is one of the biggest reasons to like Buffalo long-term this season. The Bulls are also 22nd in the country in offensive rebounds and get after it on defense, where they have forced opponents into 278 turnovers this season, a top 30 mark.

I’m really keen on this team getting back to the Sweet Sixteen. It’s going to take a legitimate challenger to knock it out, one that doesn’t exist in the MAC.
